Biography
Kurt Moehring was born on 3 January 1900 in Gross Lipschin in the German Empire (present-day Lubieszyn, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland). He joined the Reichswehr in 1916 and fought in World War I, and in World War II he served in the early campaigns in Poland, Belgium, France, and the Soviet Union. On the Eastern Front, he led the German 196th Infantry Division in the Battle of Bialystok-Minsk, the First Battle of Smolensk, Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kursk, and Belgorod-Kharkov Offensive. He was given the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for his efforts.

In December 1944, Moehring commanded the 276th Volksgrenadier Division in Germany to the south of Bitburg, positioned next to Franz Sensfuss' 212th Volksgrenadier Division. The two divisions launched an offensive against the US 4th Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge, and Moehring was killed in action at the town of Befort during the fight.
